Project Manager Noting The Tradition The National Piping Centre 30-34 McPhater Street Glasgow G4 0HW [email protected] Copyright, The National Piping Centre 2012 This is James Beaton for ‘Noting the Tradition.’ I’m here in the National Piping Centre with Professor Roddy Cannon, piper, piping historian and researcher, and also professionally a scientist. It’s St Andrew’s Day 2012 and we’re going to be speaking really about Roddy’s life and times in piping. Roddy, good morning and welcome. Good morning. Good morning. It’s always good to be back. Well, it’s nice to see you here and it’s nice to have you back. I come here on averageabout once a year these days. I give a number of classes and I talk to your students and I talk to the staff and I talk to you and it’s wonderful. Well, it’s nice to have you here. The thing that strikes me very much about your classes is that they’re so different from one year to the next. Some sit quietly and listen, some of them join the debate vigorously, and very occasionally I get confuted by counter arguments and that’s what I like best.

  • Kintour Landscape Survey Report
    DUN FHINN KILDALTON, ISLAY AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY DATA STRUCTURE REPORT May 2017 Roderick Regan Summary The survey of Dun Fhinn and its associated landscape has revealed a picture of an area extensively settled and utilised in the past dating from at least the Iron Age and very likely before. In the survey area we see settlements developing across the area from at least the 15 th century with a particular concentration of occupation on or near the terraces of the Kintour River. Without excavation or historical documentation dating these settlements is fraught with difficulty but the distinct differences between the structures at Ballore and Creagfinn likely reflect a chronological development between the pre-improvement and post-improvement settlements, the former perhaps a relatively rare well preserved survival.

The survey work was undertaken as part of the Ardtalla Landscape Project a collaborative project between Kilmartin Museum and Reading University, which forms part of the wider Islay Heritage Project. The survey area is situated on the Ardtalla Estate within Kildalton parish in the south east of Islay (Figure 1) and survey work was undertaken in early April 2017.

  • 5 Loch Na Keal NSA: Identifying Study Areas Four Main Study Areas Were Identified for Loch Na Keal NSA
    Isle of Mull: Loch na Keal NSA Landscape Capacity for Housing Final Report May 2006 5 Loch na Keal NSA: Identifying Study Areas Four main study areas were identified for Loch na Keal NSA: • Inner Loch na Keal, which focuses on the inland reaches of the loch, where steep slopes give way to level land created by alluvial deposits • Outer Loch na Keal, which focuses on the settlements overlooking Ulva and the scattered islands and skerries at the mouth of the loch • Inner Loch Tuath, which focuses on the settlements along the inner northern shore of the loch • Outer Loch Tuath, which focuses on the largely linear sporadic settlement at the very western end of the loch 10 Isle of Mull: Loch na Keal NSA Landscape Capacity for Housing Final Report May 2006 7 Outer Loch na Keal This area embraces the stretch of road from Acharonich to just south of Kilbrennan. The steep slopes which characterise the inner loch are here replaced by areas of relatively level terrain and alluvial deposits which extend upwards from the shallow bays of the sound of Ulva and Laggan Bay. The coastline becomes very indented, with small islands adding to the interlock between land and sea. Ulva appears to be only just separate from the main island of Mull, with narrow waterways slipping between elongated islets. The vegetation is dominated by semi natural vegetation of unimproved grazing, wetland and occasional willow scrub. More level, drier fields of bright green grassland are located adjacent to the farms. The road winds its way along the edge of the steeper slopes, loosely linking the settlement and allowing a sequence of extensive panoramic views to be revealed at each crest and corner of its route.

    LIABILITIES OF CONQUEST: WOUNDED KNEE AND THE POLITICS OF MEMORY by DAVID W. GRUA Bachelor of Arts, 2004 Brigham Young University Provo, Utah Master of Arts, 2008 Brigham Young University Provo, Utah Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of AddRan College of Liberal Arts Texas Christian University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy December, 2013 Copyright by David William Grua 2013 Acknowledgments Any author can tell you that, while research is often a solitary activity, writing a manuscript results from many hours of conversation and assistance from interested friends and colleagues. My debts to these individuals are many. Dedicated professors mentored me in the historian’s craft both in and out of the classroom. Todd M. Kerstetter has been a consummate doctoral advisor, sacrificing his own time and energy to answer questions, provide feedback, and teach the fascinating and intersecting histories of the North American West and Native America. Committee members Rebecca Sharpless and Peter Szok mentored me in coursework, refined my arguments in the dissertation, and imparted invaluable professional advice. Though I never had the privilege of taking their classes, committee members Greg Cantrell and Max Krochmal improved the dissertation through their comments and insights. Several institutions provided travel and research support, as well as venues to present my research. Texas Christian University’s Department of History and Geography, Graduate Student Senate, and Graduate School awarded grants that funded transportation to archives in Kansas, South Dakota, Missouri, and elsewhere. In addition, these grants permitted travel for presentations at the 2011 and 2012 annual conferences of the Western History Association, in Oakland, California, and Denver, Colorado, respectively.
